I spend a lot of time fighting on the internet. And so do a lot of other people. Having fights is good, because ideas matter and should be debated. But having good fights, meaning productive, and perhaps even humane, fights, is even better.

This is a topic that my internet friend Leah Libresco, most famous as that atheist blogger who converted to Catholicism after many online fights about religion, has studied about in depth and has lots of very things to say about.

She recently gave a talk about how to have better fights on the internet, not just about religion but about everything, and if like me you enjoy fighting on the internet (and elsewhere), you will enjoy it. So go watch it (apparently embedding doesn't work).
